Hi Bryan, We will document this case in the upcoming chapter 8 from "Restlet in Action".
The easiest way to achieve this is to return an InputStream/InputRepresentation. When there is no more content available, the stream can return -1 to indicate the end (usual Java IO contract).

It appears that chunked encoding is used so that you don't have to pre-buffer the data in the server and you can effectively stream it to the client. This seems like a good way to return a large dataset. I need to return a very large array of objects and it's not clear how to tell the client where an object begins and ends. Also, is there a way for the client to cancel the transfer after some number of objects have been received? Any Restlet examples or best practices would be appreciated.
